Formally established in 1998, the Center for Excellence in Transformative Teaching & Learning (CETTL) Executive Director reports to the Provost. The Executive Director chairs the Center's Board of Advisors composed of individuals from all colleges, the library, and administration. The Center for Excellence in Transformative Teaching & Learning partners with the Technology Resource Center to enhance the teaching and learning experience through the integration of information technology and instruction.

CETTL Mission:

CETTL supports faculty as they help our students learn.

Outcomes: We provide professional and leadership development for teacher-scholars as they create environments and experiences that prompt and nurture transformative learning for students as well as for themselves. By helping faculty engage in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, CETTL acts as a resource to assist faculty as they facilitate their students' achievement of learning outcomes, assess that achievement, and use the resulting information to continuously improve teaching and learning at UCO.

CETTL Vision:

CETTL will become a nationally recognized leader and resource for faculty professional development which enables teacher-scholars to create transformative learning environments and experiences for their students.

CETTL Confidentiality Statement:

Faculty voluntarily engage our services in order to enhance and enrich their work as teacher-scholars within UCO’s Transformative Learning environment. Mindful of that trust, CETTL maintains the confidentiality of the individual faculty or groups of faculty with whom we work.
